Visual Management versus Visual Performance

Did you know visual management (VM) is a part—only a subset—of the visual workplace? And that there are seven other main categories of visual workplace function besides visual management? Though VM is important (especially to managers and executives), it represents only a small segment of the visual workplace continuum. Join us this week for part two of Gwendolyn Galsworth’s series on visual management. As she states, VM has one over-arching goal: to clarify the corporate intent and connect and align it with: a) corporate-level results, b) site-level results, c) area-level results; and d) value-add level results. How is this done? Visually, through an array of highly-visible but flat 2D formats: charts, schemata, graphs, templates, LCD monitors, KPI dashboards, and so on. But visual management is not visual performance. Don’t stuff all visual workplace functions under the single VM label. Expand your thinking/expand your language. Tune in/learn more. Let the workplace speak.
